Studio Dustmop Releases Star Versus on Physical NES Cart


Studio Dustmop has recently released a amazing 2-player Nintendo Entertainment System on an actual cartridge. The game pays homage to one of the first video games ever, SpaceWar! but will also remind you of its descendant Asteroids.

I was really impressed with the pseudo multi-paralax scrolling on some of the stages as well. I like the spaceship’s little short-range sword weapon. Its all kinds of nostalgia playing this game.

This is the first of a few physical cart games that are coming soon, including Brad Smith’s Lizard. Purchase your copy here!
